Philippine President Arroyo Faces Impeachment
The charge of impeachment has been brought due to alleged human right and corruption by the son of a member of the Philippine House of Representatives. The member has said he will not vote on nor take a position on the filing since he has a conflict of interest. While other members of the house said he should take a public position.
The governors of the Philippines have spoke against the impeachment and the filing is not expected to get much support as Arroyo has control over the house. Even if it did go forward, the measure wouldn’t be enacted until she had only three months left in her term.
As a new comer to the country, I stand back and take notice in an effort to learn about Philippine culture and government. Perhaps someone wants to make a record of their position. i will be watching and seeking the insight of others that have been here longer than I have. I am very interested in what natives have to say.

I'm an American expat having the time of my life living in the Philippines.
I'm becoming a bit of a jack of all trades. I grew up in Jackson, Ms where I graduated with a bachelors degree and a major in Accounting. Though there is no official designation of such, I have a strong educational background in finance as well.
I worked as a revenue agent and computer analyst for the IRS for almost 20 years. I'm retired from that and my pension makes it possible to travel as my income goes with me. I am also a webmaster and it seems, I'm becoming a writer, kicking and screaming all the way. When it comes to proper English, I'm not so good. When it comes to putting emotion and ideas on paper, I've been told for years that I am exceptional at it.
I also love photography and playing with computers which fits in well with my new lifestyle. Like I said, I'm having the time of my life in the Philippines. I look forward to exploring all of the country as well as some nearby countries.
